2010 FIFA World Cup: Soundoff: Did Fernando Torres Dive?
2010 FIFA World Cup: Hopefully we can all agree that Chile’s Marco Estrada did not deserve to be sent off for the above incident. Even though he was. Seems that whatsoever contact he made with Spain’s striker Fernando Torres – if any at all – was accidental. So referee Marco Rodriguez got it wrong.
The only question for me: How complicit was Torres complicit in this unjust sending off? Did Fernando Torres just trip over his own feet, or did he dive? The only evidence we’ve is the YouTube video above, and the .gif below:
I would say the .gif is the more incriminating for Torres, but that may be due to the fact it has him stuck in some sort of time loop, falling down for ever. The YouTube video suggests to me that Fernando Torres ran acorss Estrada’s path accidentally, causing El Nino to innocently trip over his own feet and What do you think?
